The Class Action lawsuit states that, "Defendants are strictly liable for ultra-hazardous conditions that proximately cause injuries to people" following the oil spill in Mayflower one week ago.

The suit states the "Plaintiffs and the class members respectfully pray for damages caused by Defendants' strict (absolute) liability in an amount in excess of $75,000.00, exclusive of costs and interest for individual damages in excess of $5,000,000.00 of costs and interest for damages in the aggregate."

ExxonMobil's Pegasus Pipeline ruptured in the Northwoods neighborhood of Mayflower, causing heavy crude oil to cover yards and streets in the area. Exxon has said it will pay for all cleanup costs associated with the spill; an estimated cleanup time and cost analysis have not been provided.
